Inside Me Is A black Eyed Animal
I place my feet in the world,
it feels so cold,
and I want to scream.
My heart's racing,
I don't feel good,
and I look for someone to blame.
Sometimes I feel shame,
I have a frown on my face,
and rage in my heart.
I want to talk to somebody,
but there's no one around.
I want to shout,
but I think I really want to yell.
It's like sounding a bell,
but no one's listening,
I can tell,
no one understands,
how I feel,
I think they're going through the same,
they're crying too.
We're all in the same boat.
Then alone I sit under a tree,
watching the birds fly,
clouds pass me by.
I sit there in silence,
with my eyes closed.
Then I hear a voice,
it's so calm and gentle,
I feel it coming from within my soul,
"Be still and know that I am He.
I sense something in my heart,
it's gentle, it's sweet, and it's touching,
it feels like a presence of love and light.
And that's the higher power,
flowing with love,
streaming from above.
It's full of grace,
that put a smile on my face.
It's there,
it cares,
for you and me.
